1. Not entirely true. Trojans still get on the system, but they are coded to run under Windows enviroment. In effect you can help spread them with P2P programs ands stuff. @WoW, you must have an anti virus. The reference is without. Or you don't do much internet stuff outside of simple browsing.

7.  yes and no. I found numerous problems prior using the installer. It's not intuitive. There way to much without good orginization. Installers aren't hard to use.

I run Zone Alarm and Nod32 for my firewall/AV solution.  Nod32 is good at what it does and has a small memory footprint.

I think OSX handles applications the best I've seen so far.  Windows has the trouble of irregular installations (ones that put files in odd places outside of program files) and Linux is lacking the 1 click installer that Windows/OSX can get.
